Honest until you die

Miss Korea 2007: Honey Lee from http://popseoul.com/category/honey-lee/
My mum has been subtly sending me emails about husbandry expectations, being nice to people in case I have to marry them in the future, not bullying guys *rolls eyes* and no age limit to potential suitors (Yes, she said age is no issue).

I know, she is being discreet huh? Ha! Today I got an email telling me to go home early so that I don't tempt people (how does staying out after 9pm tempt people more than before 9pm if you spend it in the train/library/shops). She also cited the ex-health minister and how I should see what type of man he is.

Moral of her story: watch out for a good man, make sure he is honest until he die.

I am not joking. Those were her exact words. I was flabbergasted to read her email... Normally I just take it with a pinch of salt, maybe some sugar too. But I found this particularly funny.

*Stella's Arranged Marriage Meeting of Potential Husband*
Stella: So, are you an honest person?
Potential Husband: Sure, I am an honest person *gives sincere smile*
Stella: How can you prove your honesty? My mother wants a guy who is honest until he dies... *gives dazzling colgate smile*
Potential Husband: *sweats* Errr...
Stella: Am I fat in this? *points to hideous green and orange polka dot puffy dress with frilly purple bows*
Potential Husband: No
Stella: *opens secret trapdoor to pet crocodile pitch*

Anyone who wears green and orange polka dot puffy dresses with frilly bows purple bows should be shot. And anyone who says it looks good either needs new glasses/infatuated/lying and thus should not be married.

Besides being brilliant after-work entertainment, my mother never fails to act out her loanshark character and demand I pay back my uni fees. My family is wonderful don't you think?
